Afternoon tea outfit, darlings

So it's the month of January and everybody is depressed because Christmas is over.

Well, not me... because January is my BIRTHDAY MONTH!!! :D

I kicked it off with a big bang on Sunday the 18th of January,

It was afternoon teas hosted by my grand mama (I don't actually call her that) an this is what I wore for the special occasion.

Palazzo Pants €12 on sale, New Look

I wanted to wear something different yet fashionable, so I saw these on sale in New Look. They cost €12 and I wear them to special occasions and once to a 21st. Best 21st ever. They are so comfortable as well. I love the pattern on them. It makes them stand out. They also look good with flat shoes or high heels. Both of these can be seen in my previous blogs "Dressy casual night look". 

Peach/light pink blazer €12, New Look

When I saw this blazer in New Look I just had to have it. I love colours and needed something for a night out. It cost €12, same as the palazzo pants above. This was on sale also. You can wear it with leather looking jeans, the pants above, jeans if going to lunch with girlfriends and anything you can think of. 

Clutch bag, New Look

I got this bag as a present from one of my friends at Christmas time so I don't know how much it cost, but I saw it in New Look when I was in there the other day and they also have it in black. You would think it wouldn't go with the colour of the peach/pale pink blazer but it works. Especially because the bottom half of my outfit was a dark colour.

I wore a simple white tank top with it which brightens up the outfit in this winters month.

You could also wear some bangles or a long necklace to make the outfit pop with sparkles if you were heading out on the town, but since it was afternoon tea I decided to keep it simple. 

This is my finished outfit:

Playful Playsuits

This week I will be talking about playsuits.

Since it is the summer time (well in other countries besides Ireland anyway), it is the perfect time to get that old playsuit out of your wardrobe and put it to good use.

Or even better, buy one. There are plenty to choose from out there if you look hard enough.

I love playsuits because you can wear them to a casual gathering, the beach or out for dinner. All you have to do is add a blazer to the playsuit and you're a sexy, stylish woman.

Can you guess where I bought mine? That's right! PENNEYS!

I probably seem like an ambassador for Penneys, but I am a poor student in need of a job. Therefore I shop in Penneys most of the time. Not only that, but they have so many stylish pieces for such good prices.

This is the playsuit I bought for €11 in Penneys.

It is so comfortable to walk around in all day. Even in hot balmy weather because it does not cling to your body.

Playsuit: €11, Penneys

The shoes I would wear with this would be sandals because I am usually in a country with warm sunny weather. These are the sandals I bought. Also from Penneys. €13.

Sandals; €13, Penneys

These are also very comfortable to walk in, however, they can catch on certain types of surface areas, so if you are walking long distances I would wear shoes that are practicable but stylish at the same time, as that is the aim of the game. Right?

As mentioned above, playsuits are not just for casual wear. They can be dressed up too.

Pop a blazer and some high heels on to make it a going out to dinner outfit. 

Check out what blazers I have in my previous blogs, 'Summer Outfit' and 'Dressy-casual night look'.

A nice white or cream blazer would spruce this outfit up and make it colourful and summery. Like Kourtney Kardashian's outfit seen in the pictures of the celebrities below.

If you are going out to a restaurant on holidays, or if it happens to be spectacular in Ireland, these shoes would be perfect for a playsuit with a blazer outfit. They are €24.99 and so worth it as they are easy to walk in and go with almost anything. Link it below. These shoes would also be perfect with a crop top and a pencil skirt. However, that is another topic and perhaps a blog discussion.

Shoes from New Look website.

Wedge shoes could also work but, in my opinion, would make the outfit more casual, yet stylish at the same time.

That is my view on playsuits.

Let me know what you think.

Until next time mes amis.

Au revoir!

Summer Outfit!

I'm sorry, I;m sorry, I'm sorry I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

I know I haven't posted in about a decade.

I have exams. *sadface*

That's what I've been up to, and still am ...

Moving on from the boredom of my life, let's talk fashion.

Summer has... sort of arrived. I'm sure it has in other countries, but Ireland is all four seasons combined into one day.

We were on a roll for about three or four days in a row where it felt like summer. Then, along came the rain.

Anyhoo, I was out about two weeks ago for a birthday and was heading out to The Workmans, but ended up in Coppers. It's great craic on a Friday night, just incase all you dolls are wondering. ;-)

Because I didn't know where we were going to end up, I wore a dressy-casual look. I think the top is quite summer like. Let me know what you think.

Pink dotted top

I got this pink dotted top from Penneys for €4. They also have it in navy. It's brilliant! It goes with almost everything. A skirt, jeans, baggy trousers, anything you can think of.  The material is not flimsy either like Penneys clothes can be. Here I am wearing it with jeans and high heels. I also wore a blazer and jewelry. Look at my previous blogs on what jewelry I wore. It brightens up any outfit because of the colour. One of the best tops I own.

Black sophisticated blazer

This is the black blazer I wore that night and bought in Penneys for €5. That's right! €5! It was on sale two weeks ago, and Penneys just happened to have it in black and in my size. It was a sign that I should buy it. I think it looks very sophisticated. A blazer makes any outfit that bit more sophisticated. And black goes with everything.

New Look High Heels

I was given these by my friend. She said they were too big for her but I think she just didn't like them haha. They are so comfy to wear on a night out because they are wedges. They go with almost everything as well. I try to wear them as much as I can. I don't know how much they were, but they are from New Look which always do amazing shoes.

This if my final look:

My final outfit

I hope you like it!

Au revoir mes amis.

Until next time...
